The only other apparent non-D/R line statewide win of the night appears to be Murkowski as a write-in in Alaska, although the towns out in the bush will take a long time to count.
ME, Cutler fell back as the non-coastal counties started coming in.
Crist and Tancredo did not come close, although both did come in second.
However, all the above, including Chafee, had just fairly recently quit their D/R party and some of them may go back where they came from.
Congratulations! Rare case of both an independent Third party and Catholic Trotskyist advance here in Rhode Island.
Chafee won, 100% now reporting.
